I have seen screen shots on the web that show Pandora and other downloadable app icons on the touch screen. Mine doesn't have anything other than the standard Chevy icons plus Weather Channel and At Your Service.
Anyone know how to load these apps. My dealer is 300 miles away and doesn't seem too tech savvy anyway.
Thanks.


Solved! See last page.

Dumb question but do you have Pandora installed on your phone?

What year is your car?
I have Carplay (2016+ C7's offer Carplay and Adroid Audio) so I can see Pandora icon via Carplay. Not sure if Chevy offered a specific Pandora App for 2014-2015 C7's.

I have it on a 14.

Was there when I purchased, so I can't offer any insight on how to create it.

Well there are multiple screens too so it might be possible the OP is not swiping over to a screen the app is on.

True

Ramler

yes I do

I have Android Auto and it seems to be pretty much worthless but I have found any instructions on how to work it.

You need the Android Auto app for your phone. After it is installed on your phone along with Pandora, you need to plug the phone into the car's USB port in the console or behind the screen. Once the car recognizes the phone, the "Projection" icon will switch to Android Auto. Push that button, and you're in.

The Android Auto in my 2017 is way better than the Pandora Bluetooth setup my 2014 had.

I just checked and my 2016 has CarPlay and a dedicated Pandora app on the default head unit. I never really noticed it because I use CarPlay most of the time.

I have the Wi-fi network via Onstar's data plan. I thought it should allow access to Pandora without a cell phone & CarPlay.

???

PS - My car is a 17

There are numerous Pandora icons in Google Play anyone in particular which one to choose ?

where are these " mulitple " screens,, i have 4 or 5 icons at the bottom of the screen and no option for multiple screens.

Just means you have all your icons on one screen right now. Press and hold on one of the icons you want to move and when it highlights itself a couple of arrows will appear on the sides of the home screen, while still holding your icon drag it over to one of these arrows and it wil bring up a new clean screen and you can drop the icon there. Then hit the home button to exit edit mode and you will now have two little dots on the bottom of your home screen which tells you that you have another screen to view. Play around with it to get the hang of it.

Found my answer on the Pandora site....

i am pretty sure i don t have Pandora on the screen because i don t have it on my Android, i have Spotify and it works. There are many Pandora apps in the Play Store, and am not sure which one to select to download, i tried a couple and uninstalled them. any suggestions would be appreciated.

Here is the story by year:

2014-2016 will have a Pandora icon as one of the built in icons on one of the home screens. It will activate Pandora on your phone, but you will be able to see and control it on the car's touchscreen (Select station, thumbs up/thumbs down, etc)

2017 does not have Pandora anywhere in the system, and you must use CarPlay, Android Auto, or play Pandora on your phone and use Bluetooth streaming. All control is through CarPlay/AA, or on your phone only with Bluetooth streaming.

2018 will have the option to download Pandora as an app through the "Shop" icon on the home screen. Will use WiFi to enable the app (either the cars built in 4G if you have a trial or data plan, or your phone's WiFi hotspot)

Hope this helps!

Pandora was on the 2014 Corvette when new. I didn't have it on my phone. I had to look up what Pandora is and then load to my phone. The icon shows even when bluetooth is off.

On my 2014 Acadia, Pandora only shows up as a source when I have bluetooth on - took quite a while to notice this since you need to page over to see this last source. Pandora was on my phone by then.

it does somewhat i think,heh, i need to hit the icons on the bottom of the screen and see what shows up. when i open it and want to use maps the is a 90 degree arrow that allows one to use google or waze. i thought this would be the same with the head phone icon. i ll keep trying it.
thank you sir. mine is 2016 car

AA provides you with *safe* access to the functions that you should have access to while driving. IOW composing and email or say watching a YouTube video are not allowed because they are not safe to do while driving. Many people complain about that and then deem AA worthless. Really? Because it's stopping you from doing unsafe things, from complying with many state and countries laws requiring them to not allow such unsafe actions?

What functionality does AA not have that you just have to do when driving that is not unsafe?

(And besides, defeating this safety feature is drop dead simple...)
